Dear Devotees and Well-Wishers

The month of Damodara or Kartik (October/November) is an auspicious month within which Deepavali falls. Without fail, Deepavali is celebrated with the lighting of lamps in every home and this year shall be no exception.In this Auspicious Month, we are pleased to invite you to be a part of this celebration.​“As Satya Yuga is the best of Yugas, As the Vedas are the best of scriptures, as the Ganges is the best of rivers, so Kartik is the best of months and the most dear to lord Sri Krsna”.

We are organizing a very special program of offering lamps to Sri Damodara ( the baby form of Lord Sri Krishna) while singing a very special Damodara prayer . In this program the devotees can visit your home and organize to offer a lamp with you and your family and friends. This can bring a lot of auspiciousness and good luck to the whole family who takes part.

*** Some of the Benefits of offering a lamp in Kartik month

“When one offers a lamp during the month of Karttika, his sins in many thousands and millions of births perish in half an eye blink.”“Please hear the glories of offering a lamp during pleasing to Lord Kesava. O King of brahmanas, a person who offers a lamp in this way will not take birth again in this world.”“A person who during the month of Karttika offers a lamp to Lord Kesava has already performed all yajnas and bathing in all holy rivers. ”“The ancestors say: When someone in our family pleases Lord Kesava by offering to Him a lamp during the month of Karttika, then, by the mercy of the Lord who holds the Sudarsana-cakra in His Hand, we will all attain liberation.”“By offering a lamp during the month of Karttika one burns away a collection of sins as big as Mount Meru or Mount Mandara. Of this there is no doubt.”

“O Narada, no sins exist anywhere in the three worlds that will not be purified by offering a ghee lampto lord Kesava during Kartik".
